Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

Europe's climate monitor said on April 9 that March was the hottest on record and the tenth straight month of historic heat, with sea surface temperatures also hitting a "shocking" new high.

It is the latest red flag in a year already marked by climate extremes and rising greenhouse gas emissions, spurring fresh calls for more rapid action to limit global warming.

Humanity still has a chance, close to the last, to prevent the worst of climate change's future harms, a top United Nations panel of scientists have said.

Scientists have long been warning that extreme weather would cause calamity in the future. But in South America, which in just the last month has had deadly landslides in Brazil, wildfire in Argentine wetlands and flooding in the Amazon so severe it ruined harvests, that future is already here.

Helping vulnerable nations cope with the multiplier effect of climate change on droughts, flooding, heatwaves and tropical mega-storms will require trillions of dollars, not the billions now on the table at COP26, a draft U.N. report obtained by AFP reveals.

Global warming will affect Turkey just like every other country worldwide, and even after the end of this century, it could lead temperatures in Turkey to soar as much as a drastic 6.5 degrees, warned a scholar from the Turkish capital Ankara on Aug. 10.

Earth's climate is getting so hot that temperatures in about a decade will probably blow past a level of warming that world leaders have sought to prevent, according to a report released Monday that the United Nations calls a "code red for humanity," AP reported.

The U.N. panel on climate change sounded a dire warning on Aug. 9, saying the world is dangerously close to runaway warming - and that humans are "unequivocally" to blame.

"Europe's north will struggle with floods and fires, even with warming at the lowest end of expectations while the south will be hammered by drought, urban heat and agricultural decline, driving a wedge into one of the European Union's biggest political fault lines", portal Politico claims.

The rate at which ice is disappearing across the world matches "worst-case climate warming scenarios", UK scientists have warned in new research.

A team from the universities of Edinburgh and Leeds and University College London said the rate at which ice is melting across the world's polar regions and mountains has increased markedly in the last three decades.

2020 has tied 2016 as the hottest year on record, the European Union's climate monitoring service said Friday, keeping Earth on a global warming fast track that could devastate large swathes of humanity.
